It is decidedly a fruit of the people, and should be grown by every one. Among the most successful classes or types planted in the United States are the Peen-to, a type suited only to Florida and extreme southern points of Texas and other Gulf states; Honey, a type adapted to a section from about Central Peninsular Florida north to about central Georgia and corre- sponding latitudes west to the Rio Grande river, in Texas; Spanish, the native Peach of all the extreme Lower South; Chinese Cling, a type to which varieties such as Elberta, Thurber, General Lee, etc., belong, which adapt themselves to an area extending from northern Florida and corresponding latitudes as far north as Peaches are successfully raised, but are most extensively planted in Georgia; Persian, a class to which all common varieties of the North belong ; some few will succeed fairly well as far south as the extreme northern part of Florida, but they are more at home and mostly planted in the older Peach-growing sections of the North. Besides these we have two late introductions, the Dwapf Japan Blood and Red Ceylon, from Japan and the Isle of Ceylon respectively, which we will class as Oriental Bloods.
